Hot little platter of rough & ready yet soothing dub. `Heartical Behaviour` is made to move the dancehall ala 80s Black Uhuru. The flip is `Itaal Food`, a shimmering brew of hypnotic jazz infused melodies over downtempo beats.
Excellent Japan-only compilation of older Jahtari tunes by the great Rudiments label from Tokyo, carefully selected by E-Jima, who runs the legendary Discshop Zero record shop. This CD blends 23 tracks from the more obscure side of Jahtari into a swirling megamix of echo drenched dub and tongue-in-cheek mayhem.
Most of them never appeared on CD, their vinyl versions are gone since ages ("Talk To Me", "Flying High", "Elders"), the tracks haven't been released at all (disrupt's "Events Occur In Realtime", Bo Marley's "Ghostship Rockas", "Robotron Riddim" by Maffi) or in a different version ("Bruce Lee", "El Fata Ina The Dancehall", "Jahtari Massive").
Canadian produced and inspirations spanning the gamut from punk to funk, reggae to rock, and everything in between, the one element that takes precedence in the production style of Chronic Sonata is reggae`s sub-genre - dub
Absolutely stunning masterpiece by ronin artist from Tokyo. Layers of backward looped jazz samples, field recordings & beats from the dirty depths of Tokyo bay are running full force into Jahtari deepness. More than just a **YAWN** remix.
Message In The Dub. Moss` 1st dub album produced in 1998 but unreleased until now a dub album to long-time Toronto reggae greats Singer Judah & Jah Children Band LP Message for the World. It`s super old school in the King Tubby/Augustas Pablo style. LTD
6-track lp full of lush, organic dub steeped in the classics but firmly rooted in the now. Also has the unique distinction of being the backing band for the legendary Lee Scratch Perry.
